Dr．Monnahan said the number of 2，200 blue whales in the area might not rise any more．He said， "Before this study，some people thought that number should be going up，but if there are about 2，200 whales now，it's the biggest number our environment can help．"
Monnahan warned that we should still protect the animal，saying， "California blue whales are recovering（恢复） because we have tried our best to stop killing them．If we hadn't，the number would have been gone down．" He added that， "The recovery of California blue whales from whaling shows that we can save blue whales if we try our best．It's time for us humans to do something helpful．"
